OPEN DATA ADVOCACY: IN OCTOBER, NRGI HAD A BREAKTHROUGH IN OUR OPEN

DATA ADVOCACY, WHEN THE IMF RELEASED THE FARI (FISCAL ANALYSIS OF

RESOURCE INDUSTRIES) MODEL FOR PUBLIC ACCESS. THE FARI MODEL IS THE

GOLD STANDARD FOR FISCAL DESIGN AND EVALUATION AND IS USED BY THE IMF

AND GOVERNMENTS IN 29 RESOURCE-RICH COUNTRIES. WITH INCREASED PUBLIC

INTEREST, COMBINED WITH NEW AVAILABILITY OF OPEN PROJECT-LEVEL DATA,

THE APPETITE FOR NON-IMF USERS OF SUCH A TOOL HAS GROWN. THIS WIN

FOLLOWS 18 MONTHS OF ADVOCACY EFFORTS, BEGINNING WITH A JUNE 2014

SESSION AT THE NRGI CONFERENCE ON OPEN DATA AND OPEN MODELLING,

SHOWCASING THE FARI MODEL WITH A PRESENTATION FROM THE FISCAL AFFAIRS

DEPARTMENT AT THE IMF. BOTH DURING THE SESSION AND IN SIDE MEETINGS, WE

ENCOURAGED THE IMF TO MAKE A PUBLIC VERSION OF THE FARI MODEL TO

DESIRABILITY AND FEASIBILITY OF SUCH A RELEASE WE FOLLOWED UP WITH A

BLOG IN NOVEMBER 2014 OPENLY CALLING FOR THE PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE

MODEL. WE HAVE WELCOMED THE NEWS WITH A FOLLOW-UP PIECE ON 9 OCTOBER.

OTHER EFFORTS ON OPEN DATA ADVOCACY INCLUDE NRGI'S SUBMISSION TO THE

EITI'S OPEN CONSULTATION ON OPEN DATA. WE ALSO SERVED AS AN EXTERNAL

REVIEWER TO WORLD BANK COMMISSIONED STUDY ON EXTRACTIVES INDUSTRIES

DATA STANDARDS, WHICH WE HAD ENCOURAGED AT OUR WB/IMF WORKSHOP IN MAY

2015. OUR COMMENTS WERE SUBMITTED BUT THE REPORT AND OUR COMMENTS ARE

NOT YET PUBLIC.

CONTRACTS TRANSPARENCY: IN OCTOBER 2015, RESOURCE CONTRACTS OFFICIALLY

RE-LAUNCHED WITH 700 CONTRACTS, NEW SEARCH FEATURES AND COMPREHENSIVE

METADATA DURING THE OPEN GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP SUMMIT IN MEXICO CITY.

AS PART OF THE RE-LAUNCH THE PROJECT ANNOUNCED THE SECOND COUNTRY SITE

DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH EITI PHILIPPINES. WITH TECHNICAL

ASSISTANCE FROM NRGI, EITI PHILIPPINES RELEASED MORE THAN 80 CONTRACT

FORMED THE BASIS OF THE CSO POSITION ON THE DRAFT LAWS, WHICH WAS

TUNISIA: THE WORKSHOP WITH TUNISIAN MPS (FIRST WITH NEW MPS) IN MAY

INTERNATIONAL ADVOCACY

NRGI CONTINUES TO PLAY A LEADING ROLE IN ADVANCING MANDATORY DISCLOSURE

REQUIREMENTS IN KEY MARKETS INCLUDING THE US, CANADA AND THE UK THAT

HAD RECENT SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS. AFTER YEARS OF DELAY, AN INITIAL

RULE, AND LEGAL CHALLENGES, THE US SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

(SEC) FINALLY ISSUED A NEW PROPOSED RULE ON OIL, GAS AND MINING PAYMENT

DISCLOSURE TO IMPLEMENT SECTION 1504 OF THE US DODD FRANK ACT ON

DECEMBER 11, 2015. NRGI VIEWS THE PROPOSED RULE AS LARGELY POSITIVE AND

CONSISTENT WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE IMPLEMENTED SIMILAR

MEASURES. AN EXTENDED PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ENDS ON MARCH 8, 2016 AND

THE SEC IS DUE TO MEET TO ADOPT A FINAL RULE ON OR BEFORE JUNE 27,

2016. NRGI AND PARTNERS IN THE PUBLISH WHAT YOU PAY US COALITION HAVE

SUBMITTED COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF A STRONG RULE INCLUDING A

COMPREHENSIVE JOINT PWYP US COMMENT WITH SIGNIFICANT INPUTS FROM NRGI.

IN ADDITION, NRGI SUBMITTED TWO SUPPLEMENTARY COMMENTS RELATED TO THE

NEED FOR THE SEC TO INCLUDE PAYMENTS TO GOVERNMENTS RELATED TO PHYSICAL

COMMODITY TRADING IN ITS FINAL RULES AND TO COUNTER INDUSTRY CLAIMS OF

COMPETITIVE HARM IN COUNTRIES, WHICH ALLEGEDLY PROHIBIT DISCLOSURE.

WHILE THE AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE AND US CORPORATE GIANTS SUCH AS

EXXONMOBIL AND CHEVRON HAVE BARELY ALTERED THEIR STANCE IN OPPOSING

STRONG RULES, IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT EUROPEAN MAJORS SUCH AS SHELL,

TOTAL AND ENI HAVE SOFTENED THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED RULES, DUE

LARGELY TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BEGIN REPORTING UNDER EUROPEAN

LEGISLATION SHORTLY.

ON MARCH 1 2015, THE FINAL IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS FOR CANADA'S EXTRACTIVE

SECTOR TRANSPARENCY MEASURES ACT (ESTMA) WERE PUBLISHED, INCLUDING A

STRONG PROJECT-LEVEL REPORTING REQUIREMENT AND AN OPEN DATA REPORTING

OPTION. THIS FINAL MILESTONE IN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACT (WHICH WAS

PASSED IN DECEMBER 2014 AND CAME INTO FORCE IN JUNE 2015) IS THE

CULMINATION OF MANY YEARS OF ENGAGEMENT BY NRGI WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN

CANADA INCLUDING PWYP CANADA AND CANADA'S TWO LARGEST MINING

ASSOCIATIONS. INITIAL REPORTS FROM COMPANIES ARE DUE TO BE PUBLISHED

BEFORE THE END OF 2016.

THE UK GOVERNMENT'S NEW COMPANIES HOUSE EXTRACTIVES SERVICE WENT LIVE

AT THE START OF THIS YEAR. NRGI LED CIVIL SOCIETY EFFORTS IN THE

DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SITE, WHICH IS WHERE COMPANIES COVERED BY THE UK

REPORTS ON PAYMENTS TO GOVERNMENTS REGULATIONS 2014 MUST SUBMIT THEIR

REPORTS IN OPEN DATA FORMAT. MAJOR COMPANIES ARE DUE TO BEGIN REPORTING

THEIR PAYMENTS TO GOVERNMENTS IN THE UK OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. WITH

THE IMMINENT ARRIVAL OF THESE RICH SOURCES OF DATA, NRGI IS IN THE

PROCESS OF BUILDING TOOLS TO ENSURE THAT THIS DATA CAN ADVANCE

ACCOUNTABILITY IN RESOURCE RICH COUNTRIES.
